| Stream new track "Mother's Milk" from Answerman now. |
Local indie rock band Answerman is streaming “Mother’s Milk”, the first single off of their upcoming EP ‘SWYM ’ – due out September 4th and complimented by a 9-band, 2-stage extravaganza at Middle East Downstairs, sponsored by WEMF Radio.
"We love meeting new bands and people who "get it" and want to build the immediate scene in a positive direction, that's very important to us."
"We decided to call the album 'SWYM ' after noticing that one of the songs on the record titled, "Say What You Mean", contained the acronym SWYM. But it also speaks to the idea of jumping into life with everything you've got and accepting the good along with the bad," singer/guitarist Sam Pitino tells Bishop & Rook. "Just swimming right-the-hell through it all... love, pain, loss, dependance, joy. You stop once in a while...kick your feet, look around, smile or cry, and keep going."
Rather than looking for the next tour to jump on, Answerman has taken root in the city. "We're all pretty tied down these days. Answerman are in it for community - that's where we get our kicks," Pitino explains. "We have our favorite bands that we play out with and look forward to playing and seeing them at other shows. We love meeting new bands and people who "get it" and want to build the immediate scene in a positive direction, that's very important to us."
To celebrate the release of 'SWYM ', Answerman has teamed up with WEMF Radio to produce a 9-band record release show party at Middle East Downstairs on September 4th. The night will include a main stage and side stage, and feature acoustic performances by Drew Zieff and Miss Genevieve, as well as sets by Brennan Leeds (celebrating his own EP release), Hollywood Ghosts, Dressed For The Occasion, Dionysus Park Ranger, Birds of Spray and Wisdom Toof. The show is 18+, 7PM doors, $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Full event details here.
The 5-song EP is the band’s 3rd record and was mixed and mastered with Will Holland at Chillhouse Studios in Charlestown, MA. The band has plans to hit the studio full force in the next year to record their first full-length album.
"Mother's Milk" is available for free (at a name your price donation) on Bandcamp now. Follow Answerman on Facebook and Twitter for additional show dates.
